I have never made a Bargello but do love the look! I think I would take out #1 and two that do not have numbers (between 1 and 2). In place of removing those 3 colors I would look for something blue or gray in color or remove the gray completely. Looking at the post from DDuMouchel and Feline Fantatic I think perhaps you need to change out a few of the fabrics as they are too close in value. Just my two cents - can't wait to see it when you are done!
